Second Quarter: Redskins 24, Bears 14
The defense would come up with a big turnover early in the quarter, as cornerback Bashaud Breeland would come down with an interception on a pass attempt that was thrown into triple coverage.
While Breeland would be downed at the one-yard line, the third-year Clemson product becomes the first Redskins player since Fred Smoot (2001-03) to open a career with multiple interceptions in three consecutive seasons.
Washington’s offense would march down the field and into the red zone before having to settle for a Dustin Hopkins field goal to extend the lead to 17-0.
